I Don't Do Disrespect (Marina)

Chapter 55

Mayas POV

Is it wrong of me to ask her to stay? Can I even do that?

I feel like it's against some sort of law. Teacher ask student to stay behind while family moves abroad,

Yea I can see the headlines now

"Maya.... Are you okay?" Carina ask and I sigh

"I don't want you to go" I admit, I regretted it as soon as I said it but I don't, I really don't want her to leave

"Maya..." she sighs

"I can't" she whispers

"Why not?" I ask, I don't understand, if she wanted to she would, maybe she just doesn't want to

"Do you not want to?" I ask

"Of course I do! But Maya.... I can't. I don't have anything, my parents gave me everything I have." She explains to me

"Move in with me" I say, kind of surprising myself but it was too late to take it back

"Maya" she says, obviously as shocked as I am

"I can't do that" she tells me and I frown

"And why not?" I ask,

"You don't mean that." She says and I turn my body towards her

"I do... I love you carina. I want you to move in with me" I tell her, it was true, all of it

She didn't respond but she got up and came over to me, placing her hands on my face and pressing her lips so softly against mine

"I love you too" she smiles and kisses me again

"So you'll stay? You'll move in?" I ask and she nods

"Yea... I'll stay" she says and I smile and get up to wrap my arms around her

She tightened her grip and jumped, wrapping her legs around my waist and I sat her on the counter

"What about all your stuff?" I ask, I hadn't really thought of that, she doesn't have anything here anymore. I believe it's all in Italy

"I need to talk to my mama... she's going to be so mad... oh god Maya I'm going to lose everything. I'm going to lose my mama" Carina says hurriedly, clearing starting to panic now

"Hey... Carina Breathe. Listen to me" I say and take her hands in mine and held them close to me

"Call your mama, talk to her. You're her daughter. She wouldn't just abandon you" I explain and carina shakes her head

"You don't know my mama at all" she whispers and I sigh and just wrap my arms around her, pulling her closer to me

"You're right," I sigh and kiss her head

We didn't say anything for a few moments, I was just trying to savor all this. God I have missed her.

I can't believe I was just going to let her leave and go to Italy without even talking with her

"I need to head home" I tell Carina, I didn't want to leave her yet but my head was killing me and I needed a shower, like so bad

"Yea... and I should call my mama" Carina says and I back away from her so I could give her some space

"Let me know how it goes okay?" I ask and she nods and I smile at her before getting my phone out to order a car

"Maya... thank you"

Carinas POV

To say I was surprised at how this morning went is an understatement. Never did I once think Maya would ask me to move in.

Multiple times I have hoped for her to ask but it never came, and this morning, she actually did it. She asked me to move in with her and I am over the moon about it but, I'm worried about the conversation with my mama

Best case scenario all she does is yell, worst, I lose everything

And I know that I'll still have Maya, but it's not the same. I love her, I do. But she hurt me. And while this morning I was ecstatic about her actually talking to me that for a moment i forgot what she did,

But, she did, she hurt me, a month while ignoring me, a month without even being able to look me in the eyes. However, for her, I'm willing to try to move on,

I walked up to my room and sat comfortably on the bed before calling my mama

"Ciao Carina! Va tutto bene?"

{is everything okay?}

"Si mama, but I wanted to talk to you about something"

"Vai avanti"

{go ahead}

" I don't want to move to Italy mama.... I have a life here and I'm so close to graduating... I just... I want to be able to stay"

It took a few moments  for her to respond, I thought she was just going to hang up on me

"No"

"No? Mama what do you mean no?"

"Siamo la tua famiglia. Perché vorresti essere separato da noi?"

{We are your family. Why would you like to be separated from us?}

"It's not that mama... it's just. I like my life here now. I don't want to change it. Can't I just stay in the house? I mean it's not like you're selling it"

"Ti darò fino alla laurea. Ma poi, hai finito. O vieni qui con noi o hai finito"

{I'll give you until graduation. But then, you're done. Either you come here with us or you're done}

"But! Mama! Come on, are you serious? I'm your daughter and just because I don't want pick up my life and move again I'm out?"

"Addio Carina"

Okay... okay...

She hung up, she's over it, I knew she would be but, there was part of me that just wished I was wrong

Yes she said until I graduated but after that? I know I'm not going to want to go back to Italy forever

It'll be fine, I'll be okay as long as I still have Maya

Speaking of, I want to be with her right now instead of where I am

I called Maya and asked her to come over to pick me up and she said she would so now all I have to do is pack some clothes.

I know that we have so much to talk about, but after a month, I could definitely use some comfort from her

Maya showed up half an hour later and the drive to her house was awkward, I didn't know what to do

Part of me wanted to just jump back in and act as if we were never apart but, the other part of me wants to yell and scream

When we got to her house Maya opened the door for me and she took my bag from me and took it to her room before coming out to me and grabbing my hands and leading me to the couch,

She pulled me into her lap and I let myself relax completely into her

"I know that we have a lot to talk about, I know there is so much going on in your head and I know that I need to apologize to you. And we will, and I Will. We will do all of these things later.... But for now, I want to sit here and I want to hold you in my arms and never let go" Maya says softly and I smile and grab the blanket that was hanging over the couch and threw it over us

"I like that a lot."

Till next time ❤️
